i think your dams might be improved upon by making them go straight down at the outside and also much wider on the inside so they cover the inner wheel well more and gently blend with the existing tray.
Good analysis; this is precisely what I have observed and planned for my next iteration.

Yours are pretty much what I'm going for. I had never thought of using linoleum. I used plastic plant buckets since they retain a curve when cut. I just need to get a bigger size next time to extent further down and inward.

Thanks for the feedback!
